- �I guess it�s the cool thing to screamm when the camera come�AHHHHHH!!!!!�

- �We�re a Christian group� We just sangg at a Billy Graham event and 400 kids gave their hearts to Christ and that excites me even more and makes me want to do more.�

- �Life is like fast food: sometimes itss really bad, and sometimes its really good, but its always fast.� (Senior quote from yearbook)

- �When we lived in San Francisco, we liived in a one bedroom apartment with a pull down bed in wall of the family room. Gabe slept in the walk-in closet.�

- �I Love the Katinas.�

- �I was running out on stage once and II was running up the stairs I had a lot of energy and the stairs had roolers underneath them and so I jumped on the steps and I went flying off the side. And everyone saw me do it, I looked pretty stupid. Everybody gasped like no!!!� (on most embarrassing moment on stage)

- "You're glowing"

- �Sometimes I�m insecure about our grouup, not personal, but around guys are age, because I don�t want them to think I�m cheesy for being in a boyband, I�m little insecure about it, but at the same time I�m not because I have pride in the group.�

- �Tell Nathan to get over here now!�

> - �Hey, we�re looking at that camera rigght? (pointing) that camera!� (set of GIITP)

- �We were doing a concert and it was affter the concert we went to the gym and was playing basketball. I actually went out to see the band that played after us. And I�m watching this other band and this crazy way I found out, I was sitting their during the concert and some girl walks up behind me and is telling her friend, she was like, �Hey I saw a couple of the Plus One guys and they were playing basketball in the gym.� and she was like �and I met them and everything,� but she was like, �You wouldn�t believe it, one of them just hurt his ankle and had to go to the emergency room.� and I�m like what? So I turn around and I�m like �Did you say one of the Plus One guys got hurt?� and she�s like, �Yeah!� and I�m totally, I�m talking to her the whole time and she didn�t even realize I was in the band, it was great- I was disguised.� (Talking about Jeremy�s accident.)

- �We wanted a name that had meaning.� ((on the name Plus One.)

- �We lived in LA for about four months.. Gabe and I roomed together, and Jason and Nathan roomed together. Gabe and I are the extreme of sloppiness, while Jason and Nathan are the extreme of neatness. But when we moved to Nashville we tried switching it up. Now Jason and I room together, and Nathan and Gave room together. We�re testing to see if we can balance each other out.� (on the neatniks and slobs of the group.)

- �[mine was] probably Scooby Doo or sommething like that.� (on first lunchbox)

- �Jason�s another hottie all the girls like.�

- �We took [dance] lessons for two weekss, for about eight hours per day. It was really draining, but it was worth it. The work definitely paid off, and our confidence grew through the process.�

- �I want my boxers�

- �Prayer and reading the Bible has helpped the whole group. The basics, you know. It keeps you mind grounded and your whole life grounded. Prayer and reading God�s Word really affects your life more than I have ever realized. I�m realizing now how much of a difference it makes in the way you act.�

- �As Plus One we are going to be extremme about what we do. Because I think what we do is extreme. Even though it�s not hard rock or hard rap, our lyrics are extreme.�

- �We keep in contact with our families and our friends. We like to do normal things like go to movies, read our Bibles, and pray and go to church as often as we can.� (on staying grounded and normal)

- �It really bugged us at first, cause wwe didn�t like the term �boyband�. We�re just five guys who sing, and we look like a boyband, so we�ve accepted that. We bring something to it.�

- �We talk to them on the phone as much as we can. Our families are our number one fans.�

- � I was called to ministry since I wass a young�un and knew that I liked music too. If I hadn�t joined this group when I graduated from High School, I would I graduated from High School, I would have gone to Bible college and studied music or pastoral ministry.�

- �I wanna stay in ministry and write soongs, and when Plus One ends, maybe do a solo.�

- �At first we were like, hey, don�t calll us that, but then we realized, well, we are a band, and we�re boys, we look like a boyband so�we accept that now.�

- �Gabe is the rockstar of the group. Hee plays so many instruments. He�s amazing. He plays guitar and piano really great, but his best instrument is the drums.�

- "I came in second at a competition in Estes Park, Colorado. Stacie Orrico got first. Mitchell Solarek, the manager for Plus One, was there and heard me sing. After the competition, he gave me his card and said, "Hey, I think you would be good for something I'm working on." That was the summer before my senior year and the auditions for the group were the summer after my senior year. So there was a whole year of not really knowing what was going on. But it all came together. "

- "When we first got together, we just rreally clicked. We've all grown up in the church, sung in our youth groups, and led worship in our youth group. Three of us are actually minister's kids. The first couple of weeks, we just stayed up till way late in the morning, talking and getting to know each other. Just being stupid and laughing."

- "It's definitely not the same, but it''s not necessarily hard either, we're not that known yet, but it's getting bigger. It's kind of fun." (on going out in public)

- "We're a pop, R&B kind of group with nnice harmonies. We're never going to get away from the comparisons, like with the Backstreet Boys,but we want to take it to our own level, to put our own style and our influences in it. Thankfully,we've been allowed to choose the material we've done. We want to have more of a mature sound, to be able to reach all ages."

- "I think being dependent on God keeps it strong because you realize that's where your strength comes from and if you let it only come from there, then it makes it stronger." (on keeping your faith strong)

- "Be the best at what you do. Practice and take advantage of every opportunity to use your gift." ( on afvice for people who want to be a singer)

- "I think a lot of prayer's been involvved in this whole project from before the group started. The people who were putting it together's vision was a ministry focus vision. And, we were all just in our own hometowns with a ministry focus, doing what we were doing. So, when we came together, we knew that what we were doing was supposed to be for God's purpose. And, I think when people come out to the show that they'll see that in our hearts. And, hopefully, they won't make a judgment before they actually get to know who we are and what we're about. And, I guess that we just continue to strive for excellence, you know, because I think that's a godly thing. And, you know, even in our looks, or from whatever we do, everything that we want to do, we want to do it the best that we can. And then, when you come to the show, you'll see that during the time, you know, we share our hearts, it's not like we just sing the song, do our dance moves and then wait for people to cheer for us. I mean, there's times when we even quote Scripture and things like that from stage. So, I think people will understand and see the realness in our hearts."

- "And, every morning, Gabe decided to ccome out of the closet! ::laughter:: Ahh, funny joke!"

- "I want to act in movies like Titanic or Good Will Hunting where i get to play a character like myself" (on what kind of movie he'd like to be in)

- "We�ve got a lot more uptempo songs thhat are a little more aggressive. When we were writing, we wanted tracks that would be good for live shows. We also have some really great ballads! (proudly) Everyone in the group has also grown vocally, so it�s gonna be a new mature-sounding Plus One!" (about the new album)

- "Is it hot our here or is it just me?"" (during a show)
